Squabble. Hartford, April, 28.—The resolution declaring the city of Hartford “in rebellion” because of the mayor's proclamation for dayvlight saving, was rejected by the house this after- noon. The resoution, offered by Repre- sentative Wadsworth of Farmington, would have declared the city char- ter suspended because of ity attitude in opposition to the standard time law of the state. Mr. Wadsworth immediately offered a bill on the subject of daylight sav- ing, which was tabled for printing in the journal. “Any town, city or other municipal- ity which shall by order of its select- men, common council or borough council direct or order the citizens thereof to adopt any time other than eastern standard time for the con- duct of public business shal forfeit all rights and claims for any and all money théy would receive from any appropriation made by .the general assembly and paid by the treasurer on order of the comptroller, “Any town in which the daily ses- sion of any public school shall com- mence on any time other than eastern standard time, or “in which daily sessions of any school open at an hour other than that prescribed by the state board of education, shall be deprived of all state aild for schools.”™ Mr. Wadsworth, in calling up his resolution said the action of Mayor Brainard of Hartford was an affront to the house. The rejection of the resolution came on a point of or- der when Mr. Wadsworth attempted to offer his substitute bill. The res- olution was rejected in order to ad- mit the bill as a niember pointed out that a bill cannot be substituted for a resolution. The bill was then ad- mitted. Mr. Wadsworth said the mew bill meant serious business as it had penalties in it. House Leader Buckley said he favored the theory of daylight saving, but thought it could be accomplished without changing the clocks by those who wanted it. He did not belleve an of- ficial of a city should violate the terms of the state law, which had passed the house, was made the or- der of fhe day in the senate and allopted on a roll call vote and then signed by the governor.

The applicant trudged. back to City Hall without having earned a penny. - . Wood Chopper Absent. A gnrmer called at the office several days @go for ‘wood' choppers. He ex- plained that $4 a day could be earned if the men would chop two cords each. Seven applicants were sent and returned after throwi ubp the job. They. informed the reau that the | requirements were that they Chop ohly every fifth tree, thereby making it impossible for them to earn a day's o Omly One Job Unfilled.

(RED ACTIVITIES ARE SEEN IN THIS CITY Radical Literature Distrib- uted—Also Elsewhere in State. Residents of Franklin Square, Meadow street. Cherry street, and other avenues in that section of the city, on awakening this morning found on their doorsteps and ver- andas, pamphlets issued through the Communist Party of America. The pamphlets are of the firebrand type | that usually is disiributed by that organization. in which the working class is urged to rise against capital- ism on May 1. ‘ Throughout the substanc of the reading matter, particular stress is laid on the necessity of force in the threatened uprising. The party strives at its best to raise the dis- tinction between capital and labor, and the attempts of the manufac- urers to cheapen the hire of the em- ploye. Attention is called in the present circular to the proposed movement that threatens Europe, and an urgent appeal is made for the party mem- bers to join in it in this country. It is pointed out that police and sol- diers are usually called out to quell such demonstrations, but the. eircu- lars demand that such force as 1is necessary be used in order that the aims of the party may be realized. Some of the pamphlets have been turne over to the police. Chief Wil- ligm J.
